Newest firstObjectives Cannabis is often used alongside other substances, including cigarettes and alcohol. The objective of this study was to identify how the combination of these substances may affect sleep health. Methods Data from an online, national survey of 518 adults (35.2 ± 13.4 years old; 65% female) were analyzed. Respondents reported their cannabis, cigarette, and alcohol use. Hazardous cannabis use was assessed u…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background and aims Cannabis is one of the most used psychoactive substances worldwide. This study presents nationally representative data on core mental health symptoms and other characteristics among individuals in Germany who used cannabis in the past 12 months, stratified into those with and without problematic cannabis use. Methods Data were drawn from the 10th wave (2021) of the Epidemiological Survey of Sub…
HintergrundBis vor 25 Jahren waren zyklische Brechattacken unter chronischem Cannabiseinfluss nahezu unbekannt. Nach der Legalisierung nichtmedizinischen Cannabis in Nordamerika und der damit einhergehenden Zunahme des Cannabiskonsums, einschließlich hochpotenter Sorten steigt dort die Zahl der Patienten mit cannabisbezogenem zyklischem Erbrechen. Die ROME-IV-Kriterien der Rome Foundation definieren das cannabisin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis use disorder (CUD) affects ~22-million people globally and is characterised by difficulties in cutting down and quitting use, but the underlying neurobiology remains unclear. We examined resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) between regions of interest (ROIs) of the addiction neurocircuitry and the rest of the brain in 65 individuals with moderate-to-severe CUD who reported attempts to cut down or…
Cannabis use disorder (CUD) affects [~]22M people globally and is characterised by difficulties in cutting down and quitting use, but the underlying neurobiology remains unclear. We examined resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) between regions-of-interest (ROIs) of the addiction neurocircuitry and the rest of the brain in 65 individuals with moderate-to-severe CUD who reported attempts to cut down or quit,…
Background Chronic use of cannabis is associated with an increased risk of psychosocial, mental and physical health impairments. Sociohealth institutions reach a very limited proportion of cannabis users in need of treatment. Using data collected from festival attendees, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dependent cannabis users and to characterize cannabis dependence. Methods We used data from the cr…
Introduction and aims There is increasing interest and evidence for the use of cannabinoid medications in the treatment of cannabis use disorder, but little examination of the correlates of successful treatment. This paper is a secondary analysis of a randomised placebo-controlled trial of nabiximols for the treatment of cannabis use disorder (CUD), aiming to identify which client and treatment characteristics imp…
Background Only a minority of subjects with substance use disorders (SUDs) are in addiction-specific treatment (treatment gap). Co-operation between an unemployment office and a psychiatric hospital was established for the assessment and counseling of long-term unemployed clients with SUD. We aim at validating whether such a treatment gap exists in that group, and whether clients from an unemployment office differ…
Recent studies suggest that the endocannabinoid system could play an important role in the physiopathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). There are reports of effective treatment with derivatives of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The study of the genetic factor associated with psychiatric disorders has made possible an exploration of its contribution to the pharmacological response. However, very little is k…
Research suggests that daily cannabis users have impaired memory for past events, but it is not clear whether they are also impaired in prospective memory (PM) for future events. The present study examined PM in daily cannabis users who were either dependent (n = 18) or non-dependent (n = 18), and compared them with non-using controls (n = 18). The effect of future event simulation (FES) on PM performance was also…
Open article record in new tab ↗Life course theory considers events in study and work as potential turning points in deviance, including illicit drug use. This qualitative study explores the role of occupational life in cannabis use and dependence in young adults. Two and three years after the initial structured interview, 47 at baseline frequent cannabis users were interviewed in-depth about the dynamics underlying changes in their cannabis use…
Background:Cannabis has been associated with transient psychotic states; however, the causal relationship between cannabis and schizophrenia continues to remain a matter of debate. Epidemiological and some biological studies hint at cannabis being an independent risk factor for schizophrenia; this has not been definitively proved.Aims:We aimed to understand the patterns of glucose uptake in important brain regions…
